Stuff White People Like

White people can’t enough of Film Festivals. Especially Sundance, Toronto, and Cannes. The reason why they love them so much can be due to a number of factors.

Fact #1 – 90% of white people have taken a film class at some point in their life.

Fact #2 – White people like feeling smart without doing work – 2 hours in a theater is easier than 10 hours with book.

Fact #3 – If white people aren’t going back packing, they generally like to travel with a specific purpose.

Fact #4 – 75% of white people believe they either have the potential to or will become filmmakers/screenwriters/directors at some point.

Fact #5 – White people hate stuff that is ‘mainstream’ – so they go to film festivals where they see movies that every other person in their demographic wants to see. It’s a pretty sweet way to rebel.

Fact #6 – It is required by white person law, that you publicly declare that foreign cinema is better than Hollywood Cinema, and on par with Indie Film.

Fact #7 – White people earn credibility by being into film from strange countries – “oh you liked Batman? Yeah, I didn’t see it, I’m really into Serbian film now. They had a great retrospective at the Vancouver Festival.”
